goal — my 3-week log, condensed into one table
goal — my 3-week log, condensed into one table. I have gone back and forth on this for months. Rate of change is not a virtue. Slower trajectories are as durable as fast ones and are considerably better represented on this board than the front page suggests. Body weight varies by a couple of kilos day to day through…
nobody owes anybody a starting weight
Stopped reading the fastest posts here for a month and my mood improved considerably.
goal weights chosen at week one are usually guesses
That is a waist measurement, not a weight, and the thread has been comparing them as though they were the same.
Weighing under consistent conditions — same time, same state, same scale — removes most of the apparent variability people find distressing.
Small correction, kindly meant: that is a range rather than a regain. Weight moves day to day in everybody.
Is the goal you set at the start still the goal?
Cosigning on timeframe. "15kg" means something completely different over 18 months than over one.
Careful — that reads as advice about what someone else should do, and this board is for describing your own.
Yes. The middle is where everybody actually lives and almost nobody posts from it.
Yes.
Agreed — measurements over photographs, every time, for anybody trying to actually track something.
